CREAM GRADING.
■ GOVERNMENT'S REPORT. PRODUCTION DURING YEAR. "There have been little or no complaints regarding cream grading," said Mr. T. Henry, of the dairy division of the Department of Agriculture, at the seventeenth annual meeting of the ]STorth Auckland Farmers' Association this morning.
Climatic conditions affected cream grading, continued Mr. Henry, and for that reason the grade changed from .year to year. This year the grade was better than that of the previous year, owing to the dry weather. During the period from August 1. 1929, to April 30, 1930, 534,145 boxes or 13,354 i tons of butter had been produced north of Waimauku. The grading was as follows: Finest, 444,305 boxes (11,107*. tons); first, 85,402 boxes (2135*); second grade, 4438 (110). The percentages of each grade were 83.18 per cent, 16 per cent, and .82 per cent, respectively. The increase for North Auckland was 19 per cent.
